Eric Berry, Tre Boston are two free agents the 49ers could pursue in light of the Jimmie Ward injury

The San Francisco 49ers had their bumps and bruises during OTAs last week with Jimmie Ward’s broken collarbone being the most devastating. Ward is out for 8-12 weeks and the 49ers are without a safety. We’ve gone over trade targets, now let’s talk about some possible free agents in Tre Boston and Eric Berry.

If he can stay healthy, Berry can be a potential game-changer on the field. That’s a big ‘if’ given he’s been nursing that achilles injury in what seems like ages. Given the timing, Berry could be a cheaper signing. Now that we’re into May, maybe it’s time to lock him on one of those one-year prove it deals like Jason Verrett has.
